 Tim Webb of Buzzbin Magazine writes: "Finding roots somewhere between the alt-country pop melodies of Ryan Adams and the beautiful banjo picking of Bella Fleck, Lo-Watt Radio’s Crushing Plant EP is an eclectic mix of true folky pop gems and barn-burning boot stompers. Album opener “Empty Seat” is a perfectly crafted pop song with a fluttering organ hum that echoes, oddly enough, the Counting Crows, and stands out as the strongest song among a superb group of tracks. “Crushing Plant” takes its time unfolding into a simmering, slow burning closer that never underwhelms, serving as the perfect soundtrack to summer nights spent sipping whiskey on the porch swing. It’s tough not to get lost in the unabashed joviality of the album but underneath the fun is a band of talented musicians in synch with one another making music that deserves more ears than it will likely find." Lo-Watt Radio is a unique sound out of Akron, Ohio featuring the songwriting of Mike Harvan and the multi-instrumental pickin' prowess of Glenn "Doc" Blankenhorn. The rhythm section of drummer Joel Eric Geiser and bassist Ron Cerosky keeps the groove on the move. Country, bluegrass, folk, blues, and rock are combined into a footstompin' blend of musical bliss. Ranging from acoustic folk ballads to swampy electric barn-burners, the songs include the themes of love, loss, loneliness and alien abduction. |
